So what did you get for Christmas? :)

[beeniesmom]

I really didn't get a lot. Some chocolate from hubby.
I did give a lot of gifts this year. I'm a little disappointed because some folks didn't even thank me.

I got a $50 Walmart gift card from my brother and SIL in Texas. It's more like a credit/debit card so it can be used almost any where.

I got a check for $300 from my parents which I'm using towards payment of my new HP laptop that I bought myself for my b-day/christmas present.

The last two days I've spent a lot of time with parents which is nice because they're getting older and you just never know how much time you'll have with them.

What a wonderful present from your mother, Cindy! I'm practically in tears just reading about it!

A pandora charm, spacer charm and chocolates. Oh and a turkey baster....dont ask.

X mas is only for the kids in this family apparently.

In addition to the pneumonia:

I got a really nice long-sleeve T-shirt from my brother and sister-in-law that has a huge pair of cat eyes on the front and underneath is written "Cat Lady." How so very appropriate is this!

And a lovely scarf from my nephew, who now that he is out of school and working and making money decided he wanted to give presents to people. He's a real sweetie.

A really amazing cuisinart food processor from my daugher, totally shocked it is awesome. This was from my youngest.

My oldest had a grandma poem put on a canvas from my new grandaughters which I just love and had a grandma sweatshirt made that I love, some jammies and I picked out a nice black Tignanello purse for hubby to give me.

I've got some wonderful presents!!

From my hubby I got some books, and............. an "irobot_roomba‑564‑pet" , which is a vacuum robot!! I'm so happy with this, because vacuuming is not an issue for my poor back...

From my son I got a GPS and a kitchen thing with knifes:


From my daughter I got a jewelry box with separate stacks. I got 5 different layers and 1 top layer with closing lid. I can choose how to stack the layers, and I can also buy more!

What a wonderful present from your mother, Cindy! I'm practically in tears just reading about it!

I know, I felt kinda silly but I just couldn't help the tears. I took a little nap last night with it. It is so heavy and warm.

I'm glad you are feeling better.

Pajamas from Mom and Dad (to be worn when i spend the night at their house )
A candle from my nephew and niece-in-law
A really pretty picture frame from my co-worker (we drew names)
My brother had me in the family grab bag but he forgot to check his e-mail so... no pressie. I was NOT happy.

Taz-Zoee, what a great gift! Beeniesmom, thank you for the reminder about thank you notes. I need to do those tonight. And I'm with the people who wrote about time with family because I did get a whole day of that and we got along pretty well!

I think your brother owes you a gift. Better late than never!!
We had the opposite happen in Bruce's family. His brother already bought gifts for everyone then got the email showing we drew names.

My boyfriend and I didn't really exchange gifts because money was tight. But I got from family:

A Kindle
$20 to a local restaurant
$20 to Olive Garden
new mittens!
body lotion, spritz, body wash, etc.
a pizza oven!
slippers
a new shirt



I forgot what my boyfriend DID get me...





RINGWORM.

Ugh, I thought he got rid of it. (We both work at a pet store and some of the cats that we received had ringworm. ) His has been gone for couple weeks, but we must have missed washing something. BOO!

Merry Christmas everyone!

My Christmas came on April 17th of this year.

My biggest gift was $200 towards my plane ticket for Gallifrey One, the Doctor Who convention in LA in February.
I also got nail varnish, a hat, two scarves, a book of Harry Potter themed bumper stickers, and a donation made to WWF.
For our family gift exchange this year the rules were hand made or second hand, so I got an outfit from a consignment shop including a sort of rust colored Woolrich vest, jean shirt, brown knit hat, and brown paisley bandanna.

I am getting myself Niño's paw print tattooed on my arm, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting a good clean print for it.
